Anyone who's made a fire with a magnesium fire starter rod knows it's no picnic. And anyone who sharpens knives knows a tungsten carbide field sharpener isn't the first choice to get your edge back. But when you're stuck in the woods in a snowstorm and the stakes are high, the rule book is your first source of tinder.

Russ made a custom hunting knife for one of his good friends. Somehow through the years that knife became known as Grandpa's Favorite. Now you can get a knife that is nearly identical to Russ's custom knife from CRKT.

Tom Stokes created this compact sharpener so it would be easy to have along, and keep you sharp. You simply hold it firmly on a hard surface, place the rear of the blade edge into the "V" of the carbide sharpener blades and draw the knife through, pulling towards you. This handy tool also features a flathead screwdriver, small seatbelt/strap cutter, and bottle opener. The Stokes Keychain Sharpener also comes with a split-ring for easy carry attachment.
